For tinting your foggies just order LaminX film pre cut for the foggies in 'gunsmoke' that's what I have. And headlights you separate the headlight and paint the insert. Have a skim through my build thread and you should see a how to/ write up for it. Or otherwise just pm me.

And should get some clear/smoked side indicators to match

mts car styling has them cheap and they are oem quality. The others are a little cheap and nasty.

+1 for Foglight Tint
-1 for painting headlights

As much as I like the whole "black everything" thing you seem to be going with, I kinda like the chrome lights with the silver duco, but thats just me

I like the chrome with silver to. But not if he has the black rims.
Like swift jimmy's looks better with the chrome lights on black car with silver rims.
Personally, silver car with black rims = black inserts. But either would look good on his car.

Either way... Orange indicators must die! Lol

Agreed about the indicators. I had a good rant about this to Matt yesterday when I picked up the rims. I'm a very colour-scheming person.. Doesn't frigging match

About this laminX stuff .. do I just get it from their site ? I can't seem to find pre-cuts for the foggies ?

Yep that's the people. They have an eBay store... Go through that. My first package never arrived... Emailed them and they sent me another pair for free as soon as I told them (got lost on the mail) they reply instantly and are easy to deal with. mts-carstyling in their eBay seller name. They have chrome, clear or clear/smoked
